Previous surveys have revealed the presence of several culicine mosquito species including Aedes w-albus, and the predatory mosquitoes Toxorhynchites splendens from this region (1), and a few other dipteran species that dominate the detritivore trophic level of the aquatic insect communities (3,4).

Finally, in the logistic regression analysis, the presence/absence of co-habiting dipteran parasite (in cells from which adult wasps completed development) was not related to the sex of the adult wasp emerging from a cell; thus, there was no evidence that the parasites were more or less likely to attack cells with female offspring.

The web could be nothing other than evil, from the dipteran perspective; it is not "very good," but then turned to destructive purposes by the fly and the spider, for it exists only to destroy the fly.

Example topics are gall-inducing scale insects, the phylogeny of gall midges, dipteran leaf miners, the biology and evolution of braconid gall wasps, and gall flies on Myrtaceae as a mutualistic association between flies and nematodes.
